Think I might try Paris's idea too after February, as was planning to add new services anyway, plus might increase the amount of bookings if have a basic service at a lower price as allows those who can't afford my regular gfe price a chance to see me.

I find it works brilliantly for me although you do have to be very very clesr i what they get if you are doing a low price basic service as men will often only read the price bit and assume they get everything 
But if you tell them on the phonr / by text then i find it works perfectly
 
I can't take credit for it though . A very good friend of mine told me to do when I said I wanted to raise my prices ages agin as it was what she was doing and it worked really well for her

I've put my rates as double my standard rate for Xmas day, but I'm wondering if anyone increases their rate for New Years Eve?

It's not a bank holiday. I think if you've got increased travel costs then it's fair enough, or perhaps if you're working late. (I don't work past 8pm myself.) I think increasing your prices "just because you can" can leave a bad taste in a customer's mouth.

Would you expect your hairdresser to charge a higher price on NYE?

My friend ups her rate a LOT on Xmas day but from what I've heard NYE is a hit or miss with most guys partying so I'm guessing you should not risk it if you want the business.

My hairdresser is upping her price after NY. I can't say, "no, you can't" because she's going to anyway and she's decent.  I might try to visit her less often.  It depends.  It's up to the individual escort / sps as not all escorts are the same in terms of what they offer / levels of services / experience etc.   If someone already charges a higher rate, then you can say, "I'll hold on".  But if your rate is average or even low for what you offer, play around and see if you're worth for more than what you charged previously.  Market force dictates.  Clients do shop around and they know what is a going rate for different services.  They will buy your service if the price is right in what you are offering. 

I amended to add further details.

I have two different identities for the different services I offer.
- Female domination and extreme BDSM in a dungeon (no sex, oral etc, just hand relief)
- GFE, sensual escort, light fetish escort in a bedroom
They're completely separate services and separate identities. My prices are 1/3 higher for escort services because my body can't take as much sex as it can doling out pain  ;)
If I had thought of it in years gone by, I would have had a rule where every end of the tax year, my prices went up ?10 or whatever, then they couldn't complain - the increase is below inflation and prices of condoms and kit all increase year on year. Why shouldn't the prices for our services?

If you were increasing by ?10 for one hour, and it was below the current rate of inflation, that means your old rate would have to have been at least 1200 per hour. (Current rate of inflation is 0.6% so at my current hourly rate of 120, an increase in line with inflation would be a rise of 96p per hour  :D )

I decided to drop my rate by ?20 for the day instead "to celebrate the end of the year" in the hopes I'll make more money with more work, rather than increasing my rate and risking it being dead. :')

I raised mine from ?160to ?200 in one go, and it's the best thing I ever did. I'm now on the high average end where I live and I get better, longer bookings, less Timewaster's too.

I lost one regular who genuinely couldn't afford it any more, but I've gained way more. I also charge more for  submissive & mistress services. If you feel you aren't getting paid enough for what you're doing, charge more.

Having said that, I am coming for a place of privilege living in a wealthy area with many visitors and lots of money flying around. It can be a completely different kettle of fish in different parts of the country.
